El desfiladero de Vintgar tiene kilómetro y medio de pasarelas sobre el río Radovna.
Con esta imagen del lago Bled en la hora azul finalizo el paseo por Eslovenia, un pequeño y atractivo país lleno de lugares interesantes.
The coastal village of Piran, is perhaps one of the prettiest in Slovenia. The soft pastel colours, the harbour and the Venetian Tower make it very attractive to photograph. On this particular evening a wonderful pink glow came over the town at sunset.
Vista muy similar a la anterior enmarcada por una parte de la muralla.
El castillo de Bled, construido en lo alto de un acantilado, domina el municipio y su homónimo lago.
Castillo construido a finales del siglo XVI cuya ubicación surgiendo de una cueva lo hizo inexpugnable.
Traveling through Slovenia I seem to have photographed mostly churches, but then there are so many pretty ones and often in such picturesque locations. This is the much photographed church on the shores of Lake Bohinj. I liked the colour added by the boats.
This is one of many picturesque, hilltop churches, that lie dotted over the Slovenian countryside.
A popular and beautiful spot to photograph the sunrise in Northern Slovenia looking towards the Italian Alps. As the fog lifted a pink glow could be seen on the mountain tops. Earlier I posted a photo taken slightly later after the fog had lifted. Which one is better? Earlier posting: www.flickr.com/photos/adelheids-pictures/49005219751

Aldea de pastores situada a 1.700 metros de altitud. De las sesenta cabañas que forman el conjunto sólo una sobrevivió a los destrozos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, por lo que son reproducciones. Aunque a simple vista puede parecer un museo al aire libre, en realidad aquí vive de forma permanente una comunidad de pastores que se dedica a las labores propias de su trabajo.
Pequeña ciudad del norte de Eslovenia.
La iglesia Holy Spirit de Javorca es también Memorial de la 1ª Guerra Mundial erigido en recuerdo de todos los soldados caídos, con independencia de su origen.

An album of Slovenian photos is really not complete without a photo of the iconic Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Maria, on its own little island in Bled Lake. I was there late afternoon with the sun casting its bright golden light on the church as well as Bled Castle in the distance.

El río Reka pasa de forma subterránea por las cuevas de Skojcan, un sistema de grutas en la región de Karst, de donde proviene el nombre de fenómeno kárstico. Alrededor de las cuevas, el río fluye hasta llegar al mar Adriático.
One of the best things about Slovenia is the many pretty churches, located on such picturesque locations. This was one of my favourite views, even though the mountains in the background are quite hazy.
Another Slovenian church. I love the location of this one; under the powerline in the middle of agricultural land. I took the photo from a hilltop near Kranj. Like my previous upload, it was a challenge to keep lens and camera stable on the tripod. This was taken with a 400mm lens and then cropped to about 20% of the total image. Any future telephoto lens postings will be made with support from my new tripod :-).

Making the most of the beautiful warm evening light on the old part of Piran, just before Sunset.
In Bukov Vrh, in central Slovenia, another pretty church on a lonely hilltop in the sunset.

One of the beautiful hillside churches in Slovenia, this time surrounded by fall colours. My previous image of this church was taken from the other side of the hill at Sunset. See the other image here: www.flickr.com/photos/adelheids-pictures/38420264404
Lago de origen glaciar, el más grande de Eslovenia, visto desde el teleférico del monte Voguel.
Acantilado a las afueras de la ciudad de Piran.
Classic view of Bled lake, the island church, and the castle, I wish there was more snow on the peaks, but at least the lake surface was calm, taken...
Preciosa ciudad bañada por el mar Adriático. Durante siglos perteneció a la República de Venecia, que dejó una impronta evidente en su arquitectura. Tras la Primera Guerra Mundial esta zona le fue asignada a Italia, posteriormente formó parte de Yugoslavia y, finalmente, en 1991 Eslovenia pasó a ser un país independiente.
Situado cerca de la frontera con Austria, Bled y su lago glaciar forman uno de los polos turísticos de mayor atractivo de Eslovenia.
St. John the Baptist Church on the shores of Lake Bohinj. Like an earlier photo of Bled that I posted, I want to complete my Slovenia album with some famous viewpoints. This one was taken during my first visit to Slovenia in 2017. I was there again in 2019 and hope to return in the Autumn of this year, when the world is hopefully back to normal. Stay well everybody!

Another Sunrise attempt to photograph a church in Slovenia. This spot, with a view over Sv Tomaz is actually very popular. No angry farmers here, just a road side spot and about 8 other photographers. Two years ago I stood in the same spot trying to get a good Sunset view. I need to go back one more time for a final attempt to get this right. Previous picture is here: www.flickr.com/photos/adelheids-pictures/38989185985
Vista desde las murallas de la bonita ciudad de Piran, donde se aprecian el alto campanario y la lengua de tierra que se adentra en el mar Adriático.
Sunrise at the pretty little Zelenci Lake with its aquamarine waters, looking towards the Julian Alps.
Vistas desde el castillo medieval de Ljubljana, la capital de Eslovenia, bonita y agradable ciudad situada en el centro del país.
This is the main wintersports center in Slovenia; close to the Italian border. However it is also a picturesque small town.
During my week in Slovenia this shot was high on my wishlist. I knew the moon would be full on the last evening of the trip, and that it would rise right behind the Jamnik church. My image was inspired by a photo taken by Henk Meijer Photography. See his beautiful version here: www.flickr.com/photos/henk-meijer/41500675595
En las afueras de Kobarid (Caporetto en italiano) se encuentra la cascada Kozjak del río Soca, el cual forma un bonito valle. Toda esta zona fue escenario de cruentas batallas durante la 1ª Guerra Mundial y, además de un museo y diferentes enclaves a visitar, es el lugar que sirvió de inspiración a Ernst Hemingway para escribir su novela "Adiós a las armas".
